I missed the new year by a few days, but saw this survey and thought it was pretty interesting to wrap up the year: Lord love a furry duck - that took a lot longer than I thought! What did yo...

I just wanted to update those who have asked. Everyone is doing much better. The girls and my sister are all ok. A little sore, Cbaby went back again to the ER and they said it was a slight concu...

---

My 24 hours started at 10:30 yesterday when Tootie called crying. She, my sister, and Cbaby had been in a wreck. The police told her that she should be ok driving her car, so they were coming to...

---

I think I may be caught up, or almost caught up on reading y’all. I don’t think I was quite prepared for what this grade change was going to mean. In so many ways, I’m like a new teacher. I’m fi...

---

I survived day 1 of school. Well, technically it was a half day. Long enough for the kiddos to bring in their supplies and us get the basics taken care of. The real deal starts tomorrow. It went ...

---

I caved and crossed the river today. I had to go to Target and School Aids (teacher supply store). These are located in the large town about 30 minutes away. You have to cross the Red River to ge...

Sleep has always been an iffy thing for me. I’ve never been one to fall asleep easily. I have to read, have music playing, or the tv playing. And, once I’m asleep, there’s no guarantee that I’m g...

I had Cbaby with me this weekend. Her mom and Tootie were supposed to paint the bigger bedroom and move Cbaby’s stuff in there as a surprise. That didn’t happen (not really sure why), but I loved...

---

I just feel the need to write about what is happening in Baton Rouge. I’m several hours away from there, but I have friends and family who live in the area. They’re all safe and away from the dan...

---

I’ve been home a couple of days from my wetland trip. It was as fun as always. I love it down there. I wouldn’t want to live there, because I missed my hills, but it’s a little piece of magic. :...

---

I got my hair cut and colored today. I like the color. We finished school with the kids today. Normally it’s a day with lots of tears, but I know that I’ll have the same kids next year, so it w...

---

Catching up on sleep and on y’all. The end of the week was pretty rough. We had a 4H field trip Thursday. I’m not a sponsor any more, but due to the number of kids going, I went as a chaperone. ...

---

I don’t get many close ups of Stella, but I love her little foot with the tan sock and then the little white toe tips. Y’all kniw I hate being in pictures, but here’s me dressed for our Dr. Seus...

---

It’s been an active week, so sort of bullet style I’m going update some stuff, because I’m finding it far too easy to come read and not update. Tootie’s surgery was scheduled for Monday, but the ...

---

Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s been an incredibly hard couple of days. I came home exhausted (I HATE anything that brings attention to myself, so no one knew, except those I was eating w...

---

I’m at a conference and got a phone call that shattered my world. One of our 6th graders, one of my sweet former 4th graders died last night. I’m presenting and have other responsibilities so I ...

---

So I suck at selfies. I hate taking them. I got a new color and ‘do today. Not as crazy as she wanted me to go, but I like it. I’ll have company tomorrow night. Cbaby is coming to stay with me t...

---

I spent the day with Tootie and Cbaby today. We went crawfishing and had no luck at all. (It was way too cold, but Tootie was determined that we were going to catch some.) We spent a couple of ho...

---

So, I came home yesterday to this I can only guess that this one was trying to save me from an attack from Bigfoot or something equally ferocious. Of course she’s now curled in a purring ball on...

---

I finally settled on names for the girls. Stella Luna (as in Stellaluna, the children’s book). This is Stella. She’s the quieter of the two for the most part. She’ll run around and play, but is ...

---

I brought these two beauties home this evening. I had forgotten how active kittens could be lol. 8 months old. They were surrendered after their owner started chemo and had to get rid of them. I’...

---

I found out this evening that Tootie and Bubba’s father died today. As a human I feel the same remorse that I would for any other human that died. No…really I don’t. To be honest, I feel nothing ...

---

I’ve written about my cousin and Aunt who are having such a hard time with their other family. They’ve struggled so much. They were going to get a vacation next week. A cousin has a time share in...

Just a few pictures from Day 1 of Comic Con

It’s been a long, stressful week, but tomorrow CBaby and I are headed to ComicCon. I’m super excited! So tonight I made these. I don’t love them, but I’ll see how they look tomorrow when they dry...
